ˇ Wilke te Brummelstroete, Peter
Gijsbertsen, Jozef de Beehouwer
and the Antverpia String Ensemble
join together, lead by Ivo Venkov to
showcase the Flemish composer, Jef
Van Hoof.
ˇ
Van Hoof was a prolific composer of
choral music, symphonies, songs,
piano music and operas. His works
were incredibly important to the
struggling Flemish culture of his time.
ˇ The purpose of this new release
is the discovery of a musical and
poetical patrimony that hitherto has
remained all too obscure, allowing
the musicians as it does to access
works seldom recorded by such an
original and unorthodox combination
of musicians as this - alto, viola and
piano.
ˇ
Cyprien Katsaris created the label
Piano 21 in 2001 as a vehicle for his
own recordings, many of which are
live performances.
ˇ Celebrating the conductor Marek
Janowski's triumphant Ring
cycle at this year's Bayreuth
festival, Pentatone rounds off his
groundbreaking survey of Wagner's
operas with the release of a double
album featuring orchestral highlights
from the series. + Marek Janowski is
one of today's foremost interpreters
of Wagner. His recordings of the ten
mature operas have been universally
praised.
ˇ
The overtures, preludes and
interludes in Wagner's operas
have always had broad appeal
with audiences for their heady,
intoxicating atmosphere and vivid
orchestration.
ˇ Vibrant, striking colors, sensuous
harmonies and coruscating wit
abound in this irresistible collection
played by the Orchestre de la Suisse
Romande under the baton of the
young rising star Kazuki Yamada.
ˇ
Hailed by Gramophone magazine
as a "gifted, budding maestro" with
"interpretative nous, strength of
personality and scrupulous attention
to detail", this is Yamada's four outing
for Pentatone following his three
critically acclaimed releases of dance
music.
